Snap Judgment: Florent 'Depression' soirée

James, 42

The theme tonight is depression. Do you feel depressed or have you moved on to “acceptance?”
I felt depressed from the moment I heard they were closing, and I’m still feeling depressed.

Is Florent making the right decision?
I think part of the uniqueness of this venue is how it began. He was such a pioneer. I don’t think that him moving to some other unsettled area of NYC would create the same vibe. It’s kind of like “Seinfeld”—go out when you’re on the top.
